Sunshine Sammy | Vintage 1950s 1960s Tri-color Yellow Shift Dress
The story:
Here comes the sun! After darkness, this would signify new life and a jolly good one at that!
Sleeveless and perfect for hot days, comes with a matching belt-tie and the contrasting blue/green coloured collar and pockets stitched in black (get a hold of that triangular stitching!)
If you have a dark gray, black or emerald green longline cardigan, this would the perfect companion. Or if you're feeling funky, then a fitted structured jacket with sleeves pushed up to about the elbows and sneakers. Then it's "Go eat you heart out, 1980s!"
Pinned?: No. But it was belted to show how it looks when worn with one.
